Catalog Scavenger Hunt

This week I stopped by a local store for teachers and while the cashier was ringing up some farm stickers requested by my son’s teacher, I noticed a stack of free Playmobil toy catalogs. While I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it, it was free so, of course, I took one. I’d find something to use it for, right!?! After mulling it over, I decided to use one of the scenes from the catalog to create a scavenger hunt.

My son had to read the list of items, find them in the picture and circle each. Since he loves look-and-find books, he loved this activity. It was super easy and he didn’t even realize he was reading. <Insert evil laugh here>

You could easily replicate this activity with pictures from anywhere – magazines, coloring books, photos, etc.

Tip: If you're typing the list, use a font that most closely replicates the letters the way your son/daughter is learning to print them (for example, look at the "a").

The Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational blog was born out of one mom's desire to chronicle all the afterschool activities she is doing with her oldest son. Thanks to the Internet, when his sibling is school age and there's even LESS time to reinvent the wheel, she won't have to. (Aren't blogs wonderful?!?) Fortunately for you, she's sharing these ideas and activities with other parents who, like her, believe learning doesn't stop when the school day ends.
